Walked to school early this morning

It was just like any other day

My friend just greets me at the corner

We hope that we will not be late

 

School is over in a flash, yes

I’ve been teased more than I can bear

Repeat the words of good John Lennon,

Strawberry Fields is far from here

 

Coming home I hear some people singing

I guide myself into the crowd

They are singing the words of Lennon

Singing those words big and loud

 

And then I realized what has happened

Something great beyond compare

There is no war, no pain, no suffering

I feel myself holding back tears

 

So now, I see the people laughing

I see them dancing in the street

I see the poor ones and the rich ones

Everyone will celebrate

Because war is over, aren’t you happy?

War is over; now dance

Don’t have to worry

Don’t have to cry

The war has ended; Lennon must be right

 

So now, I see the people laughing

I see them dancing in the street

I see the poor ones and the rich ones

Everyone will celebrate

Because war is over, aren’t you happy?

War is over; now dance

Don’t have to worry

Don’t have to cry

The war has ended,  Lennon must be right

 

So I realized how good this was

I was ecstatic; war was dead

But then I felt so melancholy

So did the voice inside my head

I told myself John would’ve loved it

Lennon always wished for peace

Now I stood there, about to lose it.

But my mind got the best of me.

 

I then quickly called my friend’s house

She heard me crying on the line

She asked me what was wrong, and I told her

She then said to me “It’s time”

My friend showed up at half past seven

Carrying a binder full of cards

I couldn’t make out what they said yet

I knew how this all would start.

 

We attached each card to a flower

Then put them all on Lennon’s grave

I wish that Lennon had not perished

So he could see peace being made

 

So now, I see the people laughing

I see them dancing in the street

I see the poor ones and the rich ones

Everyone will celebrate

Because war is over, aren’t you happy?

War is over, now dance

Don’t have to worry

Don’t have to cry

The war has ended,  Lennon must be right

 

Now John Lennon was a smart man,

He was a good young boy at heart

He wanted world peace more than anything

He died before it all could start.

So nowadays we all make cards, yes,

On the date of Lennon’s day,

Hopefully Lennon went to heaven,

So he will read what they all say

 

So now, I see the people laughing

I see them dancing in the street

I see the poor ones and the rich ones

Everyone will celebrate

Because war is over, aren’t you happy?

War is over, now dance

Don’t have to worry

Don’t have to cry

The war has ended,  Lennon must be right

 

Lennon must be right

Oh Lennon must be right

here are the lyrics:
